ot: I'm 17 and I've been playing since about 4ish I started with the PS1 playing Spyro

30 and I have no idea when I started enjoying the electronic arts, my dad has had computers since the first days of home computing so like it or not I was going to be exposed to them.

I have vauge memories of playing games on an older machine but for me the highlight of my early gaming was writing my own primitive "avoid the enemy and reach the centre of the screen" game on an acorn BBC.

When the 286 got brought into the house was about when games started to move away from being trivial toys so after that my gaming future was secured.

I am 43. I started playing in movie theatres and arcades when I was 11. That's when Space Invaders first came out. That's the first video game I remember playing. I may have played Pong before that, but if so, I don't remember.

[SilverUchiha]

I'm 20.5 and I've been playing games since I was about 4 or 5 with the old NES in my grandparents basement. I didn't really get into gaming until about 9 or 10 when I got my own N64. By then, however, the gamecube was just around the corner.

[GrizzlerBorno]

I'm 19 and i started gaming proper about..... 2 years ago.... hey, i live in a 3rd world country, where gaming ain't cheap, what'd you want from me. i used to play games with my brother when i was younger, but that was mostly sit beside him and help out. (point out where to go, enemies he hadn't noticed.etc.) i only got a decent gaming rig about 2 years ago and have been making up for lost time ever since!
